Last night I glued the left side of the turret to the left side wall. This morning I glued the right side of the turret to the front wall section.

It was a little tricksie but wasn't as much of a problem as I thought.

And I got it level.



The right side left me the gift of a gap.

The left side didn't have a gap as did the right but it will get some putty attention anyway.

After the putty was dry and sanded, I sprayed Tamiya Light as a primer.







Done for today on this.

Hello Tom, you've done a great job so far. I can't wait to see what you do with painting the building as well as what you do with all of the window spaces. There are a lot of upper level windows and even more storefront windows to fill up.

One comment on the process:  When using putty or similar gap-filling/error-correcting techniques, looking at the structure after it's been primed is a real advantage.  The color contrast between the putty and structure are gone, so you can see it more holistically.  If there are places that need to be reworked, they're easier to spot.  And I've not had any problems with putty adhesion to primer.
